The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A frantic, retro-infused maze shooter where you blast robots and dodge electrified walls under the guidance of a union rep.

What players say

Players call this a loving modern take on Berzerk that adds polish without losing the original's addictive, rage-inducing loop. The robots crack office-themed jokes and the satire of corporate greed is hard to miss. It runs great on Steam Deck and gets very hectic quickly, especially on higher difficulties.
